About me

Kavitha Urvasie Selvaraj is third generation born into the Auroville intentional community. She is Indian and Dutch by nationality.
Kavitha studied Sustainable Development in the Netherlands, and then settled in Auroville where she worked in Alternative Education, Communications, Networking and Alternative Governance.
In Auroville, she founded the YouthLink Service and the GEN-Auroville Desk, with the support from Joss Brooks (GEN Elder). She has worked for sometime as GEN International as Trustee, and as Educational Director for the GEN Asia/Oceania Network.
Kavitha has run ‘Ecovillage Design Education’ programs, certified by Gaia Education, for over a decade. She also works with ‘Ecovillage Tours’ as a guide for the region of Bali.
Kavitha now lives full time in Bali, where her husband Michael and her manage the Alaya Ecolodge as a venue for retreats and education.
They are in process of developing various ecovillage regional projects – at the heart of which they are founding an Ecovillage learning campus – together with their local community and international network.

Social Media Intern for GEN International Hours: Up to 20/month, flexible around your schedule and availability Location: Remote, work with Eva Goldfarb Focus: Instagram + LinkedIn (TikTok if you’re into it!) Hi! I’m Eva, and I run social media for GEN International — the global network connecting ecovillages, intentional communities, and regenerative culture-builders across every continent. I’m looking for a co-conspirator to help me tell the stories of the people quietly building the future: off-grid villages in the Philippines, permaculture farms in Senegal, urban cohousing projects in Berlin, elders passing down land wisdom in the Andes. It’s a wildly rich, wildly underrepresented world, and I want more people to fall in love with it the way I have. What you’ll actually do: Dream up and create content for Instagram and LinkedIn (reels, carousels, stories, captions that don’t sound like a corporate newsletter) Dig into our global network and turn your findings into stories people want to share Pitch your own ideas. If there’s a series, a theme, a format, or a corner of the network that lights you up, that’s what I want you to focus on. What we’re looking for: A natural storyteller, someone who can spot the human thread in a project update or a photo from a faraway village Genuinely curious about ecovillages, sustainability, intentional community, regenerative living Self-motivated and communicative; this is a flexible, trust-based role Why this role: This isn’t a “post 3x a week and don’t ask questions” internship. You’ll have real creative freedom to work on what excites you, learn how a global grassroots network tells its story, and build a portfolio full of meaningful, purpose-driven content. Plus you’ll be talking to people living some of the most interesting, intentional lives on the planet. If storytelling for a better world sounds like your kind of fun, let’s talk.
